Abstract: Data indicating a first time period during which a workpiece as a work object in each of a plurality of work processes stays in a state in which substantial work is possible, a second time period during which a worker stays in a worker area, and a work cycle are acquired. A work type identifier is provided that identifies a work type of each time range included in the second time period based on a relationship between the first time period and the second time period. A time calculator is provided that, with respect to at least one work process, calculates a sum total of time ranges corresponding to at least one work type included in one work cycle.

Abstract: An analysis device includes: a first acquisition unit that acquires data indicating a first time zone in which each product stays in each of a plurality of processes; a second acquisition unit that acquires data indicating a second time zone in which a worker stays in each of the plurality of processes; an analyzer that analyzes a work situation for each product in each of the plurality of processes; and a providing unit that provides an analysis result. The analyzer determines, on the basis of a relationship between the first time zone and the second time zone in a period for analysis of a process for analysis, whether or not a factor that decreases work efficiency has occurred in the period for analysis of the process for analysis.

Abstract: A dispenser includes: a plunger; a dispensing portion configured to dispense and suction liquid in response to an advance and a retraction of a distal end surface of the plunger along an axial line. The dispensing portion includes: a surrounding portion surrounding the distal end surface of the plunger about the axial line to define an accommodation chamber for accommodate the liquid to be dispensed; and an end portion facing the distal end surface of the plunger. The surrounding portion includes an inlet opening into the accommodation chamber to receive the liquid into the accommodation chamber. A distance from the inlet to the end portion is less than or equal to half of a maximum stroke of the distal end surface of the plunger.

Abstract: A work instruction system includes: an imaging device that captures a captured image including an operator that performs a plurality of element tasks with respect to a target; an information processing device that includes a completion determination part that determines, for each element task, the completion of the element task, and a work identifier that identifies the element task to be performed next by the operator; and a display device that displays the element task to be performed next by the operator.

Abstract: The present invention enables displaying a Gantt chart that is capable of displaying the implementation status of a work process for each order by a display method in which visibility is not compromised even when there are many orders. A Web server (10) causes display of a Gantt chart in which a block (Bl), representing a work time (Ot) required to complete each of a plurality of work processes (Pr) for each product (Ar), is marked with a color so as to make it possible to identify an order (Or) that includes the product (Ar).

Abstract: The present invention ascertains the correspondence between the actual operation of an apparatus used to execute a work process and work performed by a worker while suppressing costs. This information processing device associates basic imaging data obtained by capturing the entire work site WS by one ceiling camera with process information acquired from a PLC.

Abstract: In an operation control method capable of securely reducing required motor capacity and power consumption, a threshold based on load size is preset, and after a driven or rotated state of each of two rotating shafts becomes steady, and if the load size is smaller than the threshold, conveyance of a rotating drive to one of the two rotating shafts is stopped and the one of the two rotating shafts with the conveyance of the rotating drive stopped is interlocked and rotated together with the other of the two rotating shafts by vibration generated by a rotating drive of the other of the two rotating shafts, and if the load size becomes larger than the threshold, the conveyance of the rotating drive to the one of the two rotating shafts with the conveyance of the rotating drive stopped is started so as to drive or rotate the two rotating shafts.

Abstract: In a vibratory sieving machine having two rotary shafts provided with eccentric spindles disposed parallel to each other, motors are disposed so as to reduce the capacity or power consumption of the motors required in the vibratory sieving machine, and to drive the two rotary shafts independently, and a rotary drive control mechanism is configured such that either one of the two rotary shafts can be started upon a start, while the other of the two rotary shafts can be started after a rotary drive state of the one of the two rotary shafts is transferred to a stationary state.

Abstract: To provide an operation control method capable of securely reducing the required motor capacity and power consumption, a threshold based on the load size is preset, and after the driven/rotated state of two rotating shafts becomes steady, and if the load size is smaller than the threshold, the conveyance of rotating drive to one of the two rotating shafts is stopped and the rotating shaft with the conveyance of rotating drive stopped is rotated together interlocked with the other rotating shaft by vibration generated by the rotating drive of the other rotating shaft, and if the load size becomes larger than the threshold, the conveyance of rotating drive to the rotating shaft with the conveyance of rotating drive stopped is started so as to drive/rotate the two rotating shafts.

Abstract: For reducing a discomfort feeling brought by wearing a breathing mask, a wearing tool for the breathing mask which covers nostrils of a user and supplies gas for breathing to the nostrils comprises a pair of connecting members each of which has a longitudinal shape and has a first end portion which is connected to the breathing mask, and a pair of fixing members each of which is connected to a second end portion of the fixing member and is plugged in the tragus of the user. Hence a discomfort feeling due to restraining around the head of the user can be reduced.
